Chapter 137

"Morri, we've been at this for hours," Siobhàn said, kicking a pebble as they trudged along. "We're running in circles. Where are we anyway?"

Morrigan fiddled with her communicator. "I'm trying to reach Kazuo, okay? Nothing's coming through."

"Maybe Aris gave you the wrong number," Siobhàn suggested, leaning against a nearby tree.

"No, it's just... it's not going through. Something's blocking our communications. They must be in some kind of fortress."

"Well, that sucks," Siobhàn sighed, pushing off the tree and resuming their walk. With a sudden halt, she caused Morrigan to collide into her, which led to the phone slipping from her grasp and falling to the ground.

"Hey, what gives?" she grumbled, steadying herself.

Siobhàn pointed ahead. "That gives."

Morrigan followed her gaze and spotted two men blocking their path. One sported a green mohawk and tattoos, while the other was a large, bald man munching on a burger.
